Description

Our Word of the Week is "taxes." Sound soundman Jim, Linda Gillison and Mark dive deep into the topic, including a careful reading and discussion on a speech given in 1945 by NY Federal Reserve Chair Beardsley Ruml on why taxes for Federal government revenue is obsolete. We also talk about the UAW John Deere strike. And we review Toni Gilpin’s book "The Long Deep Grudge: A Story of Big Capital, Radical Labor, and Class War in the American Heartland" which tells the story of the long conflict between International Harvester and  Farm Equipment Workers union.
